Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
• The present invention generally relates to gaming devices and more particularly to a wearable interactive gaming device.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
• Conventionally, various types of games have been played both indoors and outdoors by people to increase social interaction and encourage physical activity. With advent of technology, however, the games today are mostly technology based and are being played within confines of a room using electronic devices, for example a television, a mobile device, and the like. The games are played either between a single player and a virtual interface or between multiple players connected through the virtual interface. Such games increase screen time, decrease the social interaction, and cause various health issues. Few gaming devices have been developed as standalone distributed systems capable of communicating to other gaming devices. Such gaming devices can operate without need of the electronic devices or Internet, and without the virtual interface. However, such gaming devices are only configured for a single game, for example a shooting game, a laser tag game, and the like. Moreover, most of the gaming devices are either non-intelligent, non-programmable, non-networked, or do not allow two-way communications.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This summary is not intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the subject matter, nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
• An example of a wearable interactive gaming device includes at least one wearable unit wearable on a player. The at least one wearable unit includes a display unit, a motion sensor unit, a communication unit, and a receiver unit. The display unit is configured to enable setting up of a game by the player. The display unit is further configured to indicate, to the player, a plurality of parameters in the game. The motion sensor unit is configured to sense a plurality of gestures performed by the player during the game. The communication unit is configured to communicate one or more interactions with one of at least one robot device and at least one wearable interactive gaming device. The communication unit is further configured to communicate data within the wearable interactive gaming device.

The wearableinteractive gaming device105, the wearableinteractive gaming device110, and the wearableinteractive gaming device115 together form a mesh network and are also referred to as mesh nodes in the mesh network that are able to directly communicate with each other. Examples of the mesh network includes, but are not limited to, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), and the like. Herein, the ‘mesh network’ refers to a self-organizing network, direct as well as multi-hop transmission enabled, and secure. The mesh network is built from a plurality of mesh nodes that can assemble the mesh network, dynamically adapt to device failure and degradation (also referred to as self-healing), manage movement of the mesh nodes, and react to changes in task and network requirements. In an example, the mesh network can be arranged as a full mesh topology or a partial mesh topology. In the full mesh topology the mesh nodes are connected directly to each other mesh node. In the partial mesh topology, the mesh nodes are connected to only some, not all, of other mesh nodes.
